NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--STRATA + HADOOP WORLD NEW YORK 2016, iguazio
today introduced its flagship product, the Enterprise Data Cloud
platform, unleashing the full potential of megatrend applications and
analytics for big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-native
applications. iguazio has pioneered a new service-driven approach to
enterprise data management, redesigning the entire data stack to
accelerate performance and bridge the enterprise skill gap.

“Today’s data platforms are expensive and time consuming for
enterprises. Rather than jury-rigging these inefficient infrastructures,
we tackle the problem head on – redesigning the data stack to reduce
complexity, redundancies and security issues”

iguazio’s Enterprise Data Cloud is the only secure data
platform-as-a-service deployed either on-premises or in hybrid cloud
architectures, with self-service portals and APIs for developers and
operators. Previewed at Strata
+ Hadoop World New York 2016, the Enterprise Data Cloud represents a
shift in the way enterprises are storing and analyzing data, where
information often is stored in silos, is difficult to access and is
expensive to maintain.

The new unified platform delivers a breakthrough in application
performance and efficiency. With only four data appliances, companies
can store up to 10 petabytes per rack, with costs starting at $0.03 per
gigabyte per month. The platform delivers 10 million transactions per
second and throughput of 50 gigabytes per second with sub 100
microsecond application latencies, across streaming, NoSQL, objects or
files.

“With iguazio’s Enterprise Data Cloud, our enterprise customers have the
ability to build large data repositories closer to data sources and
generate business insights from their data at incredibly high speeds,”
said Lance Weaver, Vice President for Product and Platform Strategy,
Equinix. “iguazio’s new platform fits extremely well with the Equinix
Data Hub architecture. For our customers, it means our joint solutions
offer enterprises both hybrid and private cloud options to serve their
data-centric applications for edge analytics, IoT and many other
applications.”

Big data has struggled in enterprises, which is why iguazio’s solution
of bringing agility to the cloud, along with performance and efficiency
to the enterprise, is important and timely. “Through 2018, 70% of Hadoop
deployments will fail to meet cost savings and revenue generation
objectives due to skills and integration challenges,” according to
Gartner.*

George Gilbert, Wikibon’s Lead Analyst, Data and Analytics agrees:
“iguazio introduces a paradigm shift," he said. "Enterprises are
building complex big data environments, where each data store is
specialized to a specific task. The result can be an inefficient data
pipeline which slows down enterprise adoption of big data. More unified
storage and analytics can deliver simplicity, lower cost of ownership
and faster time to insight."

iguazio’s unique design eliminates the need for copies and long
transformations between data models. Using the Enterprise Data Cloud,
stateless cloud-native apps provision data in seconds and consume it
through standard APIs. Developers and business units share data, search
and monitor and provision data lifecycles through abstract policies with
multi-layered, role-based access control.

The Enterprise Data Cloud at a Glance:

A single application client drives 2 million requests per second,
using the native APIs and 800k req/sec using Amazon compatible S3,
Kinesis and DynamoDB APIs (100xfaster than Amazon’s)

A single rack hosts more than 10 petabytes of mixed SSD and HDD
capacity

“Today’s data platforms are expensive and time consuming for
enterprises. Rather than jury-rigging these inefficient infrastructures,
we tackle the problem head on – redesigning the data stack to reduce
complexity, redundancies and security issues,” said Asaf Somekh,
co-founder and CEO of iguazio. “Our beta customers have realized
significant improvements in their data access speeds while also
drastically reducing costs and simplifying operations.”
